But in the path of those who went unnoticed: he also had a fleeting appearance no less than Djimon Hounsouwho in 2019 became the Shazam Wizard for precisely the movie Shazam!installment in which the last survivor of the Council of Mages was looking for a new Champion to grant the powers of the gods.

Now, Black Adam explains why the Wizard Shazam is a sole survivor: basically because Teth-Adam kills the entire Council once they try to subdue the anti-hero. Hounsou only appears in a couple of quick scenes to give Black Adam’s story some context, but he still had his moment replicating the role.
